"I'm like, 'Oh hi! What's your name?'"

Holly Holm isn't used to her newfound fame. Just ask Jay Z, who introduced Holly to Beyoncé after she defeated Ronda Rousey to become the new UFC Bantamweight champion.

"He says, 'This is my wife,'" she says to KRQE News 13. "I'm like, 'Oh, hi! What's your name?" Because that is what I do when I meet someone's wife. And as I'm shaking her hand, I'm thinking, why did I just say that? Why did I just say that to Beyoncé?"

Holly says that Beyoncé told her she was fine, though she didn't feel that way. In fact Holly interrupted Jay Z, who wanted to talk about her fight against Ronda, to apologize: "I can't believe I just did that."

Watch Holly Holm recount her awkward meeting with Beyoncé below.
